One of the other pleasant facts about WWI is that The sovereigns of Britain, Germany, Russia and Austria-Hungary were all distantly related to each other; the whole conflict smacks of aristocratic cousins fighting over their toys, with ordinary men being put through the meat grinder as a consequence.

In particular I agree with Secret Of Mana, Final Fantasy Tactics and Chrono Trigger. Those 3 were the most addictive games I would encounter until I discovered Bioware over a decade later, at least as far as RPGs are concerned.

For the record, Josh Brolin is 45. Affleck is 41.

That's all well and good but then let me download that stuff separately as a discounted add-on; don't make me actually buy the entire game all over again. I despise the double-dip as a business practice.

I love Firaxis, but so far there doesn't appear to be anything to justify a $30 or $40 price tag, especially since I already own the damn game. This feels more like a $5-$10 DLC honestly. I suppose I'll have to wait for a sale. Sigh.

It's already glitched for me. I'm well above the required Gamerscore of 1500, yet it says I haven't met the minimum requirement. It must be Microsoft Math.

This essay only served to remind me that Dwayne McDuffie's gone; I was having such a good day too. Sigh.

Let me explain something to those of you that don't "get" Superman: He is supposed to be what we aspire to. He represents all that is good and kind and tolerant in this world. Superman isn't a hero because he has all of those insane powers; he's a hero because he's selfless and goes out of his way to help others, ALL…

Should we demand that modern day Mongolians apologize for Genghis Khan's brutal tactics? Should Italy apologize for the Roman Empire? Are modern Mexicans responsible for the Aztecs human sacrifice or the Conquistador's savage usurping of that same empire?

Mine was silver.

As a fellow Leo might I say you're my hero for standing up to people who get bent out of shape on the internet over stupid shit.

Admittedly this made me laugh. Kudos.

Who needs coffee when I can read this shit first thing in the morning?

Ahh, Internet: please continue to make no sense and resolve no issues from now until eternity! :D

This isn't limited to comics, either. Chiwetel Ejiofor is in my opinion heads and tails above all the other names being bandied about to play the 12th Doctor; if he doesn't get the role I may have to turn in my sonic screwdriver.

This reminds me of an old joke about how if a car company released cars of the same quality of each new version of Windows, there'd be no wheels and every six months a guy would come by to put gas in your car that you can't drive.

"The DRM of being able to share and trade is actually better than games on Steam."

Joe Scarborough can blow me.

I'm just gonna call it the X1.

I've been watching that show since it debuted. HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS???? :D
